    FNF main event. They need to put Katsidis on every undercard and match him with glorified clubfighters like himself. Great fight. They bombed each other for 10 rounds. Could have gone either way. If you missed it, watch it.

    i was front row for this one and had mensah winning 7 rounds. he landed 90% of the clean effective shots. damn good fight but a bit one sided. katsidis should hang um up

    there was a 4 rounder before the telecast that was very good action as well. a good card all around. the first fight was kinda shocking though apparently reyes dad had died a few days ago.

    Is Mensah from Ghana? I wonder if he knows John Mensah.

    He gave 10x more effort in this fight than fighters that win. I think Golden Boy should try and make Katsidis vs Morales. Loser leaves town slugfest fight.

    Maidana and Rios would both take a shit on Crapsidis.

    Don't understand where this is coming from. Crapsidis is a nice guy with alot of heart, and he always gives his all, but he's simply not very good at all.

    Either Rios or Maidana would beat the shit outta him. He's tailor made for both Rios and Maidana.

    Maidana is shit. He might have more in the tank. I think Katsidis would beat Maidana who just plain sucks, has little heart, chin, stamina or punching power. bOTH ARE CLUB FIGHTERS, but Katsidis at least is full of heart and courage.

    Rios will definitely take a shit on Katsidis....but Maidana??? I don't think so..Maidana woudl probably win, but it' won't be easy.

    Both guys have been in many grueling tough fights.

    Crapsidis doesn't have a fraction of the skill of Alexander, or even shot Morales. Maidana would beat him down.

    A fringe guy like Provodnikov would beat Kat down as well.

    If you question Maidana's heart after the Ortiz and Khan fights, then I dunno what to tell you.

    He didn't even try against Alexander and that was his last fight. He "Tito'd" it for sure. He went through the motions.

    Maidana lost heart against Alexander cause he was being hopelessly outboxed, and couldn't nail him.

    Against a guy like Kat, who he's not gonna miss with his clubbing shots, I don't see him losing heart.

    Not that I'm saying Maidana is anything special. He's limited as Hell just like Kat, but he wins because he's a bigger puncher than Kat, a slightly bigger man overall, but most importantly because Maidana has a history of beating better fighters.

    Ortiz, Cayo, and Morales. Yes, Morales was washed up. But even a washed up Morales boxes the shit outta Kat.

    Kat's best win is over Kevin Mitchell. And is Kevin Mitchell even better than Victor Cayo? If he is, it aint by much.

    I don't really want to argue this one. It is like arguing what is worse getting 50 or 52 years in the pen . It just sucks so does Krapshitus and Madonna. They put the "s" in scrubs.

    It'd be a fight worth seeing though. I agree with Neil, it could be made as an undercard fight.

    Or Hell, its VERY much worthy of a main event on FNF.

    Both are past it at this point though. Kat more so than Maidana, but Maidana is also on the decline I think.

    Again I haven't seen his last bout but I'm sure there are lots of guys out there that won't handle the kats pressure game
